A rain drop

Year 7/8 Hail —

by grace.c


A drop of rain is like a sudden knock on the door unexpected yet often welcomed with a smile,

it can brighten your day or ruin your plans, it can make you laugh, it can make you sad.

Whether it travels fast or slow, big or small it always gets everyone’s attention a raindrop contains many secrets,it is a bubble of anticipation and surprises, it cleans the earth feds the flowers: It feds the people it gives us food it gives us hope it gives us joy.

A Raindrop is never silent it bangs on roofs, splash's into green flax's flooding the grey concrete on the city ground:making slushy puddles for kids to play in, in their spotty, worn out gumboots.

Without rain we wouldn’t be here, without sun we wouldn’t live here: without sunshine and raindrops we wouldn’t have rainbows.
